5 Great Lines From Horror Movies!

What many people forget is that there are some fantastic lines in horror movies, ones that set the tone of the movie or add that deliciously creepy element that we crave. These are lines that stick with us forever, the ones that we can’t wait to hear and say along with the character. These are the lines we post as our Facebook status update, the ones that we Tweet to see who knows what we’re talking about.

So I gathered five lines that I absolutely love hearing in horror movies that I wanted to share with you below. And if you have some favorites, make sure to leave them in the comments section! I’d love to hear what lines tingle your spines!

Okay, so there’s some bias here. I absolutely LOVE this movie. I consider it to be the closest thing to The Shining out there. And when Simon utters this line at the very end of the movie, it is one of the most spine-shivering moments I’ve ever had.

Everything that built up to Hannibal Lecter’s first appearance in Silence Of The Lambs made him out to be a terrifying, insane individual, one that would send many of us crawling under the blankets, terrified knowing that people like him actually exist. But in all actuality, he seemed quite charming and delightful. Well, that is until he described one of his meals. This was the point when you knew that he was truly and utterly insane.

What we have here is such an innocuous and obvious line that it never crossed my mind how sinister and evil it could sound. That is, it never crossed my mind until Ghostface hisses it to Drew Barrymore. From that moment on, that question has never been the same.

When the Queen Alien is trying to find Newt underneath the floor, it’s a terrifying moment where we actually feel fear for this child who has made it through so much only to be facing death. The music is heightening and tense when, suddenly, everything comes to a pause as the bay doors open and Sigourney Weaver comes stomping out in one of the loader unit suits. When she utters this famous line, it’s one of those moments that makes me want to erupt in applause and cheers.

Freddy Krueger has a HOARD of fantastic lines ranging from serious to comedic but it’s this line, said to Tina near the beginning of ANOES1, that truly terrified me. In the dream world, Krueger is in charge, no matter what. He is God and he has complete control while you sleep. It is here that he lays the foundation for how powerful he is and will be throughout the series.

That line from IT was the source of many nightmares as a kid, I HATE clowns!

TrixieMalicious

Completely ruined my view of clowns too! Clowns and cleaning the bathroom by myself. I was always worried voices would come up from the sink

Soturi22

That movie scared the shit outta me! I had to stand as far away from the drain as I could whenever I showered cause I thought Pennywise would come through it.

The end of the first Halloween…

Laurie: “Was that the boogeyman?”

Dr. Loomis: “As a matter of fact, it was.”

First time I saw the end of the movie with this line followed up by Loomis looking over the balcony to see Michael is gone, it sent a chill down my spine.

morehorror4me

Excellent choice.

Psychoghost

The music makes the movie. Notice when Loomis does look over the balcony and the next shot is of the ground with no Micheal there, is when the music starts again!

A few favorites off the top of my head,

“Be afraid. Be very afraid.” Veronica, The Fly

“I don’t know what it is, but it’s weird and pissed off!” -MacReady, The Thing

“Show me.” – Arnie Cunningham, Christine

“Look what your brother did to the door!” -Drayton Sawyer, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

“To know death, Otto, you have to fuck life in the gallbladder” -Dr Frankenstein, Flesh for Frankenstein

“Maybe the next one, darling. Maybe the next one.” -James Ballard, Crash

“I pray you find Jesus.” -Margaret White, Carrie

“Please, fashion has changed!” – Juror in white shoes, Serial Mom

grossgreg

“Be afraid. Be very afraid.” is indeed a great line. Interestingly enough, Nintendo also in a commercial for Metroid 2 for the Game Boy in 1991 or 1992. Here’s a link to the commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APEC2zucOhA

It’s actually a bit strange. I first heard the line in the TV commercial and then remembered it when I saw the Fly a few years later.

This is the best list of lines I thought you were going to use “Whatever you do, don’t fall asleep” from A Nightmare On Elm Street but the line you did use is one of my favourite lines of all time, my favourite being “What’s your favourite scary movie?”

http://www.facebook.com/buffyangel808 Ethan Steers

My favorite line would be “Whatever you do, don’t fall asleep” from ANOES1. It just sums up the franchise and is recognized by horror and non horror fans alike.

KingJamesRichard

I’ll swallow your soul, I’ll swallow your soul!

KingJamesRichard

“Groovy.”

http://www.facebook.com/corby.daniel.3 Corby Daniel

I use this all the time. People always think I’m making an Austin Powers reference and I hate them for it.

KingJamesRichard

“Shhh…listen, do you hear anything?”

KingJamesRichard

“Do it, Gordon.”

KingJamesRichard

“First you wanna kill me, now you wanna kiss me….blow.”

KingJamesRichard

“That’s my mother you’re pissing on.”

KingJamesRichard

“I kick ass for the Lord!”

KingJamesRichard

“Then he’s still there.”

KingJamesRichard

“Every town has an Elm Street.”

SuperKilla

That was a good line. Freddy’s Dead may not have been a great sequel but it had some good visuals and some good lines like this one.

KingJamesRichard

“Dead by dawn!”

KingJamesRichard

“Thrill me.”

KingJamesRichard

“I am the devil, and I’m here to do the devil’s work.”

KingJamesRichard

“Sometimes, dead is better.”

Psychoghost

Pet Sematary has a lot of good lines. I liked when Gage says”first I play with mommy, then Judd and we had an awful good time, and now I want to play with YOU!”

dangerzone79

“Get out… (whispered) GET OUT!!! (screamed) – The Amityville Horror

KingJamesRichard

“Your suffering will be legendary, even in hell.”

SuperKilla

Wolf Man’s got nards! – “The Monster Squad”

KingJamesRichard

“Uh huh, that’s right….who’s laughing now?” “Who’s laughing now?!”

SuperKilla

The pussy speech from “From Dusk till dawn”

I may be a bastard but I’m not a fuckin’ bastard – “From dusk till Dawn”

SuperKilla

We belong dead – “Bride of Frankenstein” and “Bride of Chucky”

Don’t fuck with the original – “Scream 4″

Boooooyyyyy! – “Phantasm”

I see dead people – “The sixth Sense”

doomas10

“yeah, fuck you too!” *throw dynamite* The thing!

And a personal quote translated from “I saw the devil”. “You already lost. You think you got me? Huh? Fuck you. I don’t know what pain is. Fear? Don’t know that either. There’s nothing you can get from me. So… You already lost”.

“You’re going to die up there.” from The Exorcist always stuck with me, mainly because it seemed so odd that there was absolutely no context for the line. I always assumed that it was just random, until I read in the book that some of the patrons at the party were astronauts that were soon to leave on an expedition to outer space.

kevnk

I Want My Cake!! Creepshow

egaltt23

“Why are you screaming? I haven’t even cut you yet.”

horrorking95

It’s a good list but you’ve arguably missed out the best line EVER! “HEEEEEEEEEEERE’S JOHNNY!”

Marty McFly

What about “I kill for the lord!” from Dead Alive

kevnk

“I got good news and bad news, girls. The good news is your dates are here.

Anyone remember the late great Brion James from the botched House 3 that came out in the US as The Horror Show? Lance Henriksen gives a bad ass performance in that movie. Anyways, Brion James, as Max Jenke has some really good lines in this movie. Like “BACK THE FUCK OFF, BITCH”! Or while he’s being electrocuted in prison as Lucas (Lance) watches, “Lucas, I’m coming back to tear your world apart… I’m going to fuck you up”. Movie gets compared to Cravens Shocker but I like The Horror Show better. Geek note: The director James Isaac, also directed Jason X.

“I don’t want to get sick, I don’t want any of us to get sick” cabin fever favorite horror movie another good quote; Justin talking to his dog”good boy come here Dr mombo” marcy “Dr like he’s a physican or professor?” Justin”yea he’s a professor……OF BEING A DOG! Oh faced!”

“Bring out the Gimp.” Pulp Fiction is not horror but that scene is pretty friggin’ scary.

grayghost

Oh shit I have to shit ~The Human Centipede

AvengingAtlas

How can we forget “I see dead people” from Sixth Sense!

SuperKilla

It’s not forgotten it’s in this list in the middle.

Arkham

“Meat is meat and a man’s gotta eat” – Motel Hell

Soturi22

I bet you can squeal like a pig. Weeeeeeee! – Deliverance

Gadrius

Not from a horror film…or even a film at all from that matter but when Zoe Washburn described Reavers, right down the spine.

“If they take the ship, they’ll rape us to death, eat our flesh and sew our skins into their clothing. And if we’re very very lucky, they’ll do it in that order.”

Venom-man4

The first time hearing the laugh from Predator is a pretty creepy moment.

darkscarecrow

Predator was a great movie. However the best quote came from “Jesse “The Body” Ventura.

“I ain’t got time to bleed!” – Predator

livingdeadgirlEDF

Tarmac “brrraaaiinnnnzzzz” an then the music starts classic.

darkscarecrow

More from the comic then the movie but I love this line (not a big fan of the movie)

Rorschach, WATCHMEN

“Remember, I’m not locked up in here with you, your locked up in here with me.”

http://www.facebook.com/ryan.henry.543 Ryan Henry

I fucked up

“none of you seem to understand, I’m not locked in here with you, you’re locked in here with me!”

http://www.facebook.com/ryan.henry.543 Ryan Henry

Holy Shit I can’t believe all the American Pyscho Quotes I left out!! So here goes:

“You’re a fucking ugly bitch I wanna stab ya to death and play around in your blood.”

“I have to return some video tape.”

“You spin a driedel.”

“Paul Allen is frozen in a meat locker in Hell’s Kitchen!”

“…but when sports came out they really came into their own.”

“The coloring is bone, the lettering sicilian rail.”

“….don’t just look at it Eat it!”

Psychoghost

One of my favorite movies ever!
“your hair really isn’t blond, is it.”
“…….but I am simply not there”
His rant at the restaurant about the times(meaning the 80′s) is too materialistic and how we need to show more humanity is a hypocracy with who he really is!
The best part is toward the end-”….I just had to kill a lotta people!”

SuperKilla

darkscarecrow

diapers

Anything that Axel says in Friday the 13th Part IV is sheer brilliance.

Psychoghost

Not a line, but memorable-All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
“Red rum, red rum”
“Here’s Johnny”
The Shining is the bomb!
Best part is at the very, very end of the movie when you see that he is in the picture at the hotel a long time ago. Gives you goose bumps! It kinda reminds me of the song Hotel California where you can check out, but never leave!

Sami Smith

“Billy and his penis don’t deserve you!” -Tatum (Scream)

Selfie

The WHOLE of the intro to ‘The Fog’! “Suddenly!…”

Not so much of a line, but I’m sure some people can quote all of it! Oh, just me then!

SuperKilla

It’s finger licking good – Near Dark

zog71

“Yo, she-bitch!”. Use that line on my wife all the time.

bdskull419

Lot of great ones in here, I can’t believe I haven’t seen:

“Do I look like someone who cares what god thinks!” Pinhead – Hellraiser Bloodline
“I was born to murder the world” Nix – Lord of Illusions
“The dark inside me, from the other place. It shows you things, horrible horrible things. I won’t go back there.” Justin – Event Horizon

Actually almost anything from Event Horizon. One of, if not the scariest movie ever.

RaffyLee

“it’s not who you go with honey… it’s who takes you home.”

-Wendy, from Prom Night(1980) that line was just so bitchy and campy. I kept quoting this during my own prom.

EnzFab

I think the line from POLTERGEIST should have been included… it has almost become part of pop culture – “They’re heeere”

Surprised that didn’t make that list. The other line from that film that is chilling is “It knows what scares you”.
